T: BRIGHTWOOD ASSOCIATION New Officers Elected and Important Mat- ters Considered. _ Transfers From Brightwood Road to W. and G. Line—Dr. Stone Favors _ the Bona Dil, The regular monthly meeting. of the Brightwood Avenue Citizens’ Association was held last evening in the Brightwood Hotel, with President William A. Gatley in the chair, Mr. Claude F, King officiat- ing as secretary, and the following mem- bers present: Dr. H. Darling, Dr. C. G. Stone, W. V. Cox, H. M. Gillman, Thos. O'Brien, E. T. Bates, F. A. Heitmuller, J. H. Stone, Robert E. L. White, George W. White, W. A. Knowles, George G. McEI- wee, T. H. Felter, M. E. Robinson, John L. Norris, James R. Sands, William Thom- as, A. M. Harrison, L. William Burket, J. A. Thomas, Theodore Thomas and Dr. J. A. Lavender. Mr. W. V. Cox, from the committee on postal facilities, reported that Brightwood is now in receipt of three mails daily, ar- riving at 7 a.m., 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. There are also three outgoing mails, the hours for departure being 8:10 a.m., 1:10 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Mr. Cox explained that by this schedule the residents of Brightwood now receive their mail one hour earlier than heretofore, and the evening papers as early as the delivery in some portions of Washington. In regard to changing the Brightwood post oftice from the fourth- class to a substation of the Washington office, nothing definite has been done, so, said Mr. @ox, that the Washington post- master had stated that in his opinion Brightwood will eventually be a substation cf the Washington office with one, and perhaps two, carriers. Mr. King announced that the well oppo- site the hotel is dry, and he moved that the Commissioners be requested to dig the same deeper in the hope of striking water, as at least twelve families depend upon the well for their water supply, and hot weather is approaching. The motion was adopted. After considerable discussion regarding transfers at Florida avenue from the Brightwood railroad to the Metropolitan and the Washington and Georgetown roads, on motion of Mr. John L. Norris a com- mittee of three was appointed to call on the officials of the Washington and Georgetown road and request them to accept the trans- fer coupon, sold at the rate of four for 25 cents, issued by the Brightwood company and ‘now accepted by the Metropolitan road. The chair named as the committee Messrs. J. L. Norris, C. G. Stone and F. A. Heitmuller, and instructed them to look in- to the law on the subject and decide wheth- er or not they are acting properly before proceeding. An amendment to the constitution was offered by Mr. M. E. Robinson, providing for the semi-annual election of officers instead of annually. The motion was de- feated, while one providing that the as- sociation shall hold regular meetings on the second Thursday evening of each alternate month, beginning with the month of April, until the month of October, and of each month thereafter until the month of April was adopted. The annual election of officers was then proceeded with, after President Gatley had briefly thanked the association for courte- sies extended to him during his term. Mr. W. V. Cox, the chief clerk of the National Museum, who is a resident of Hrightwood, and Mr. M..E. Robinson were nominated for president, the election resulting in fa- vor of Mr. Cox, who made a few remarks reviewing the history of the association and pointing out the good it has accom- plished. Mr. M. E. Robinson, Mr. Claude F. King and Mr. A. G. Osborn were unani- mously elected vice president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. “Dr. C. G. Stone and Dr. H. Darling were chosen as members of the executive committee. In his speech of acceptance Dr. Stone elo- quently urged the association to act, unan- imously ana harmoniously in support of the passage of the bond bill, declaring that Brightwood will not have proper sewer and water facilities until the bill mentioned be- comes a law. Messrs. Stone, Darling and O’Brien were appointed a committee to bring to the at- tention of the Commissioners the amount of damage being caused to property bor- dering Brightwood avenue opposite Pet- worth, by reason of absence of gutters and consequent lack of drainage, and after the matter of a permanent meeting place and the compensation therefor had been referred to the executive committee the association adjourned. FALSE ALARMS. Two Young Men Arrested for Calling Out the Engines. The District authorities are having a lit- tle trouble with the keyless fire alarm boxes, two alarms having been sounded from the box at 9th and F streets during the past two days when there was no fire. This morning about 3 o'clock the second false alarm was sounded, and the several fire companies responded. At the time the alarm was sounded workmen were engaged cleaning the cable road conduit, and many of the traps were open. It was with some difficulty that the workmen closed their traps and swung their lamps in time to prevent the serious and perhaps fatal in- jury to some of-the fire horses. Policeman Garraway was on duty on that beat at the time the false alarm was sound- ed, and he was also on duty when it was sounded two days ago. He was unable to catch the offender then, but he has been on the alert ever since, and this morning he saw two young men loitering about the box. The officer suspected that they were going to turn the handle and call out the fire department, and so he stood in the shadow of the patrol box until he heard the ringing of the bell. Then he went acrcss the Street and arrested them. Their explanation was that one of them had feoled with the handle and had accidentally turned it. The young man who turned the handle gave his name as Louis Kane. His com- panion gave his name as Melville Tucker. They appeared in Judge Kimball's court today, and were charged with violating the police regulations in giving a false alarm of fire. The court heard the evidence of Police- men Garraway and Kimmell, and the young men were also heard. Kane admitted that he turned the handle while fooling with it, and Tucker said he was some distance from the box at the time. In answer to the court’s inquiry the po- licemen said that the box is too high to be reached by a small boy, and said that the handle is not easily turned. Judge Kimball instructed the young men that these boxes are put up for use in case of fire, and, so far as he is concerned, he will fine everybody who turns the handle and sends in an alarm of fire when there is no reason for it. Kane was fined $25, and ‘Tucker was released. ——__. Not a Case of News Suppression. Referring to the claim of F. S.

Grand Opera House.—Mr. Richard Mans- field has proved his popularity in this city by attracting a large and cultivated audi- nce on Good Friday night to witness his admirable performance of “Beau Brume rrell.” Tonight Mr. Mansfield will close his engagement with “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyd Mme. Rejane.Mme. Rejane comes to this city next week at the Grand Opera House, after an uninterrupted series of brilliant triumphs. She will bring with her the complete and excellent company from the Theater du Vaudeville in. Paris. She will give five nights’ performances and two matinees. Mme. Rejane will present on the first three nights of the week, and at the Wednesday matinee, the play which has made her famous, “Mme. Sans-Gene,” following it with “Ma Cousine” on Thurs- day evening; “Divorcons” on-Friday even- ing, and “Sappho” at the Saturday matinee. It is confidently expected that she will supplement during her Washington en- gagement her success in other cities. Fanny Davenport in ‘“Gismonda.”—No modern playwright has gone on so steadily uninfluenced by the dramatic movement of his time as Sardou. His talent is for stcry telling and stage ornamentation. His steady reliance on his own gifts is more evident than ever in “Gismonda,” which Ferny Davenport is to present for the first time in this city next Monday night at the National Theater. According to his- toric account, the widow of Nerio II (whon- Sardou calls Gismonda) was duchess regent, and married a nobleman of Venice, of which republic the Turks were exceed- ingly jealous. ‘The Sultan, Mahomet 1, sent Francesco (Zaccaria Franco), a nephew of Nerio II, to Athens as governor during the reign of the duchess. This young man had been held as hostage by the sultan for the fidelity of his father, and he soon gave evidences of his Turkish education by putting to death the duchess, although neither she nor her Venetian hus- bard made any opposition to his assump- tion of government. Francesco only en- jJoyed his power a few brief years, when his protector, Mahomet II, turned against him and caused his assassination. This story would never have answered Sardou’s purpose, so he took his leave of history, while the duchess was regent for her young. son, and from there on the dramatist sac- riflces historic accuracy in the interest of dramatic plot. He leads Gismonda through a succession of romances until she marries Almerio, the humble falconer, that are far different from the ignominious death she suffered at Francesco’s hands. In Gismonda” Sardou has dealt more with the amorous than the tragic incidents. Academy of Music.—The attraction at the Academy of Music next week will be George Thatcher and Carroll Johnson’s minstrels. Butler's Bijou Theater.—The attraction at Butler's Bijou Theater next week will be the thrilling melodrama entitled “The Cross Roads of Life,” with its realistic scenery and mechanical effects, and its strong plot, affording an opportunity for some excel- len: acting. The company is a good one, and fully competent to bring out the best effects of the piece. Jack McAuliffe, the famous lightweight pugilist, will appear in a four-round glove contest with Jack Bolan. ‘These contests will take place next week at every performance. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater—The French Folly Company will be the Lyceum’s at- traction for next week. The feature of the performance will be a series of Japanese Living Pictures, the models for which are direct importations by Manager Manches- ter, and among the subjects illustrated will be a number of Japanese works of art, the originals of which now hang in the mi- kado’s court. Others who will appear in the olio are Van and Leslie, sketch artists; May Adams, Fitzgerald and Kell repre- sentative Irishmen; Lowry and Hanley, the comedy du Zella Clayton, vocalist, and Clark and Vivian, the Alabama coons. The performance concludes with the oriental wonders, in their marvelous acrobatic, jug- sling and scientific balancing feats. The engagement begins with a special Easter matinee Monday. Base Ball Ilustrated.—On Friday,April 19, which day will mark the opening of league t @ ball season, Manager Kernan will in- ugurate a new system of illustrating the ame in detail frcm the stage of the L ceum, the loc will have a chance to foliow every movement of the Senators against the Bostons. The score by innings of all the National League games will also be given. The prices “of admission will be 10 and 25 cents. For Garfield Hospital.—The entertainment for the benefit of the Ladies’ Aid Society to the Garfield Memorial Hospital, which is to be given tonight at the Church of Our Father, promises to be very success- ful. Tickets are selling rapidly and the entertainment bids fair to be exceedingly interesting. Mr. Willard will give some glimpses of Bermuda and the Windward UNDER THE HAMMER.

A Splendid Easter Market — Little Change in Prices. Purchasers today were presented to one of the best-stocked markets ever seen at this season of the year, and the prices ask- ed them were, with perhaps the sole e: ception of those in leef, about as low as ever before experienced. The market dur- ing the past week Was a firm one through- out, with a steady and encouraging tone. Beef still continues high, with no ‘indi tions of a decline, and other meats are mpathetically affected. Indeed, it is not unlikely that beef will advance still fur- ther instead of falling, and high prices are expected to continue :for quite a while. The spring products are now freely arriving, and prices gradually reccde as the season Islands, and Mr. B. H. Warner will give his impressions of the people, the climate, the scenery and the resources, The musical part will be a feature of the entertain- ment and will comprise plano, tenor and soprano solos. A Lecture on Art.—Mr. W. Lewis Fraser, the art manager of the Century Magazine, will give a lecture at the Builders’ Ex- change this evening at 8 o’clock.The subject of the lecture is “Pencil and Graver in American Art for One Hundred Years," and it is to be illustrated by a fine series of stereopticon pictures. As this is one of the lectures of the Art League course, it will be well patronized, and Mr. Fraser's close acquaintance with his subject will enable him to make it very interesting for those who go to hear him. Anna Eva Fay.—At the Academy of Music tomorrow evening Miss Anna Eva vill give the last of her seances in Washington. It will be a religious, illus- trated lecture on: spiritualism and theoso- phy, and gmarvelous demonstrations will be given on the open, lighted stage. Be- lievers as well as unbelievers always flock to see Miss Fay, and she is recognized as one of the best test mediums before the public. advances. Generally the stock is of good quality and sufficient in quantity to meet the demand. Strawberries show a good yield, and prices, gradually falling, will soon’ place them on the streets.’ The indications here- tefore noted, pointing to an active, healthy market this’ season,-still’continue, and the general belief is that it will prove one of the best for some years. Butter is very firm, and, while weak in the east, is quite firm in the west, so any material decline or |advance here is un- likely. Buyers are rather particular as to avality, there being a poor demand for the lower grades. Arrivals are moderate, but the supply has invariably met the demand. Little new stock is seen, and it is gener ally faulty. For Elgin creamery and other western extras, from 21 cents a pound are asked. Firsts, 20 to 21; seconds, 19 to 20, and imitations, 14 to 15. Fancy cream- ery prints, 25; dairy print, 19 to 20; Mar: land and Virginia print, 16 to 18; New York tub, 16 to 20; western dairy, 10 to 14, and Maryland and Virginia dairy, 12 to 16. Bakers’ choice stock, 12% to 14. From 1 to 2 cents a pound should be added to above quotations for extra fancy stgck. Prices in cheese show no change. New Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs.—The attrac- tion on Monday evening at Metzerott Music Hall will be the Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs. Although theYale base ball club was thrown down, it is not at all likely that the people of Washington will accord these two clubs the same reception, for the Yale Glee Club and the Yale Banjo Club hold a very warm place in the hearts of music lovers of this city. Tickets are selling rapidly for their con- cert, and an excellent program will be rendered. The list of patronesses, which includes many ladies prominent in Wash- ington society, has already been printed in The Star, Willard Hall.—“Snowball,” one of Sydney Grundy’s most popular comedies, will be presented at Willard Hall April 17 by Mr. C. Garvin Gilmaine, Miss Ellen Vockey and a number of other artists of merit. The performance is under the patronage of a number of prominent society ladies, and the cast is an excellent one, compris- ing Mr. Gilmaine, as Felix Featherstone; Miss Ellen Vockey, as Mrs. Featherstone; Sdwin Filbert Campbell, as “Uncle Mr. J. Raymond Park, as Harry Pendagrast. May Blossom’s Benefit.—Tuesday night,at Willard Hall, there will be a testimonial benefit tendered Miss May Blossom. The program will be an excellent one, and the talent will comprise both local and New York performers. Mr. Winter’s more ad- vanced pupils will give a one-act comedy, the cast being made up of Misses Rogers and Ward, and rs. Foster and Gideon. Miss Chalmers will give several selections, while the musical part of the entertain- ment will be looked after by Mrs. Kitty ‘Thompson-Berry, Mr. J. J. Fisher and some talent from New York. The fancy dancing on the program will be by Prof. Joe Mont- and the Misses Hawke.

New stock arriving, but faulty in quality. Contrary to past experience, the Easter quotations for eggs show no advance, 12 cents a dozen having been about the one prevailing price for the week. While the supply has been and is plentiful, there fs a firm market, the sales being large: As in butter, eggs show a slight weakness in the east, which is offset by a western firmness. Hence, a firm, active market here, with no indications of any material change, one way or the other. In poultry prices show little change, those for live fowls being, however, slight- ly higher. The season for turkeys has about expired, although there will probably be a slight demand for two or three weeks yet. Drawn turkeys, 12 to 15 cents a pound; undrawn, 12 to 16; live, 10 to Spring chickens, 25 to 30; winter, 13 to 1 drawn, 11 to 14, and undrawn, 10 to 12.
